“Ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.” (John. 15:19).

To be true friends of the Lord Jesus Christ we must be delivered from all our old friendships and brought into new friendships. In John 15:19, we realize that we have been pulled out by God’s mighty hand from the world, and worldly relations and friends, who cannot enjoy this friendship with God.

On many occasions the Lord said one word, or by one touch healed the sick. In the case in Mark 8:23, however, He led out the blind man by the hand, showing us by this example how to be a true disciple or friend. Till that day the blind man had been led by his relations or friends. But the day the Lord led him out, He was saying in effect: ‘You must now let Me help you and lead you day by day.’ So He took him out from old associations, not because He was afraid to perform the miracle, but for a purpose, the very same purpose for which Abraham had been compelled to leave his kith and kin, and all his friends, and had been given new relations. This is the first thing we have to learn if we want to enjoy God’s divine friendship.

The Lord promised Abraham a sevenfold blessing in chapter 12:2-3; “ I will make of thee a great nation: and I will bless thee. I will make thy name great. Thou shalt be a blessing. I will bless them that bless thee and curse them that curse thee: and in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed.” This sevenfold blessing is intended for any person who desires to be a friend of God.
